Subject: [PATCH] staging: dgnc: Fix a NULL pointer dereference
Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 14:41:22 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160504054122.GA11128@certreview.com> (raw)
The error handling for print_drive after calling tty_alloc_driver()
was needed. But there was error handling but too late for this.
Error handling code moved after tty_alloc_driver() call.
Fixes: 60b3109e5e2d ("staging: dgnc: use tty_alloc_driver instead of kcalloc")
